Backup macro

[M[i]]

I'm in need of a macro which automatically opens up Nero (or a similar burner) and closes the database, for backing up purposes.
A good idea would be to open up nero and automatically create an iso image with the database which will be burnt later...Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge to do that so please provide me with some information
thanx

I have seen the question posted before but never a solution to where Access can write a file to a CD burner. I have posted code that will allow you to copy a database [even while it is opened] and zip it up using a registered version of WinZip. Search this forum for the key word "WinZip" and the user name "ghudson" if you are interested.

You could possibly create a session in Nero.. then reference the session through a script (or perhaps even VBA). However, you'll have to have the other fellows help you with that.

The easier route would be to buy a third-party program to do it. Or stick with Ahead products and get Nero BackItUp. The procedure on how to schedule a backup to a CD-R is outlined here.
